Virtual Executive Roundtables

Available throughout the year, a Virtual Executive Roundtable is a small invite only gathering of 12-15 senior CX leaders. This 90-minute exclusive interactive session will provide an intimate setting for the sponsor to drive conversation and thought leadership on the state of CX today.

A Virtual Executive Roundtable is ideal for partners looking to engage and build relationships with key decision makers in an exclusive VIP setting.

How it Works

  • Execs In The Know will recruit key decision makers and drive attendance.
  • Partners will be positioned as the thought leaders for the session.
  • Partner-provided collateral and giveaways will be shipped by Exec In The Know (EITK) to attendees prior to the event.
  • Event production, marketing, and fulfillment will be facilitated by EITK.

Virtual Subject Matter Briefings

Virtual Subject Matter Briefings offer an unparalleled opportunity to meet with CX decision makers, position your brand as expert thought leaders, share best practices and unfiltered information with brands who are seeking it, and network with senior industry professionals. Our 2023 Subject Matter Briefings will focus on solving the most pressing customer experience challenges and opportunities.

A Virtual Subject Matter Briefing focuses on a specific CX topic and dives deep into the most relevant solution themes through the expertise and perspectives of our panel of subject matter experts. Corporate brands submit their most pressing challenges upon registration and plan to discuss them openly with other attendees and an expert panel of CX thought leaders who can help guide them through the complex challenges. A Subject Matter Briefing also includes a Corporate Brand ONLY session, allowing the attendees to openly collaborate on the information gained in the sessions.

Virtual Briefings will be held virtually using Zoom Video Meeting to promote engagement and open discussion.

Customer Response Summits – CRS (Spring & Fall)

After over 13 years of Customer Response Summits, they continue to be our two signature spring and fall events of the year.

The Customer Response Summit (CRS) Series is an event built by CX leaders for CX leaders. Twice a year global brands come together and rally around topics they care about most in a format that fosters relationship building, stimulates curiosity, amps up creative problem solving, and continues to build foundational CX leadership knowledge through sharing of best practices. As we continue to evolve CX with our leaders learning from leaders’ approach, CRS has become known as the pinnacle event for knowledge-sharing with thought leadership and actionable takeaways coming from both our CX leader community and our innovative CX Business Partners.

Customer Response Summit is more than a conference – it is an intimate and laser-focused forum, providing outstanding opportunities to directly engage with some of the brightest minds in customer experience. The strength of this forum lies within the innovative design of informative sessions, interactive breakouts, relevant industry tours, specialized networking opportunities, and dynamic social engagement activities.

CUSTOMER RESPONSE SUMMIT – OPENING DAY SESSIONS

 

OPENING DAY, EXECUTIVE STRATEGY SESSION

Exclusive to senior executives, we will be kicking off the Opening Day, Wednesday, at CRS with an Executive Strategy Session. With this session, the Business Partner will work with Execs In The Know to frame a discussion on a specific hot topic in the community. The intent of the session is to discuss the necessary considerations and best practices on the identified topic. This session is a Corporate “by invitation only,” peer-to-peer session focused on operational, organizational, and leadership considerations required to execute successful advancements in customer experience. When attendees register, input will be collected to help drive a comprehensive and cohesive discussion. The session should be structured so attendees can gain a practical framework they can take back to their organization.

 

OPENING DAY TECH FORUM AND EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT WORKSHOPS

A Tech Forum or Employee Engagement Workshop, provides an opportunity for a Business Partner to host, engage, and go deep on a selected Workshop subject. By design, these 75 minutes of intense discussion and engagement sessions should produce defined takeaways for those in attendance. Attendees will have the opportunity to attend one of two different concurrent sessions (a Tech Forum session or Employee Engagement session) hosted by two different Business Partners. As a sponsor and host of a Tech Forum or Employee Engagement Workshop, you will identify learning objectives, design the interactive discussion, and interact through an exercise, demo, or lively discussion. Your Workshop will be hosted live at the CRS fall event in Nashville in the afternoon hours before the Welcome Reception. A Tech Forum or Employee Engagement focus for your Workshops should be declared in the contract phase and specific abstract title should be proposed by the Business Partner and approved by Execs In The Know within 15 days of signing. At the time of contract signing, you can decide if this session is open to All Attendees or Corporate Only Decision Makers.

CUSTOMER RESPONSE SUMMIT – MAIN STAGE

 

PANEL MODERATION
